I’m a longtime resident of Alameda; lovingly restoring a Victorian and restoring it to its former glory. I’ve fixed up, and sold a variety of properties. My greatest passion now is helping others find their dream property, whether it’s a sparkling gem or diamond in the rough. If you are looking to sell your residence, I can help you prepare your home to show off its finest features and create an effective marketing plan.
